Take Pokkali farm visits near Fort Kochi, as an example. They have become one of the ‘must dos’ for many guests staying in the neighbourhood. You’ll take a walk through the most stunning backwater locale surrounded by numerous Chinese Fishing nets, interact with the women farmers and visit some of the organic farms, and conclude with a mouth-watering culinary experience. Our guests who’ve been to Pokkali are quick to point to it as an amazing, experiential holiday. Experiences like Pokkali are off the beaten path and don’t just happen by chance. Pokkali is a rare variety of rice that can grow in saline water and is so unique to the region that it’s often positioned as a climate changed resistant food. Low yield, high labour costs and lack of demand, among other woes, had pushed farmers to the verge of giving up on a farming tradition that’s several thousand years old. When we came to know of a looming agrarian crisis in the region, we spent two years in continuous engagement and consultation with local farmers. As a result of our intervention, the farmers produced more than fifty tonnes of rice this year, ensuring livelihood security in the region. And it afforded us the opportunity to share a transformational holiday with our travellers. Learn more about Pokkali and many other such initiatives here. Whether it’s a musical trail, folk expressions, a tree walk, or a visit to the Pokkali farm, there is more to such experiences than what we see in the periphery It’s this “more” that makes us a special holiday company, that will guarantee you have an unparalleled experience.

How We Do it:
We understand that our travellers want to feel something new; they want a fresh sensory experience, they want to feel anew. The Blue Yonder makes that magic happen through local encounter. When we take you off the beaten track, away from the familiar, into the brave new world of discovery, novelty – and wonder – there’s always a story to be found, to be told, to be heard, to be experienced.
We believe in delivering more than a holiday, we believe in travel as a life-changing experience.
